Snake Tribe members were very convinced by Ripples' words. After learning the method, starting the next day, the aroma of fried meat began to drift in the air above the Black Snake Tribe's territory....While leaving the difficult tasks to elders, one feels carefree and is currently discussing with Leah and Raul about extracting the "Soulflower" with ease.

"The Soul Blossoms only grow in places where souls congregate, and the gathering place for souls in the West Continent is Soul Hill at its westernmost point. We need to go there, and it's best if we arrive before the moon tide. Otherwise, when the soul riot comes, we won't be able to move an inch."

Leia did her research very carefully, and Raul nodded in agreement.

"I originally wanted to go picking myself, but my combat power isn't enough. I also posted an announcement before, but too few people took the mission!"

Raul said helplessly.

"Isn't it because the pay you offered is too low"

Ripples ruthlessly exposed it.

"Cough! As you said, I'm the top-tier creative alchemist, all my gold is invested in researching new potions, so I can't offer much reward."

Raul desperately tried to save face.

Both Ripples and Leia smiled subtly, and said nothing more.

Then we'll wait for Grey to come back, and then we'll set off.

Ripples directly agreed.

"Okay!"

"Immediately, the ripples spoke to Raoul:"

I am interested in the potions you sold to Lord Rice. Could you sell me a portion

"Of course, we're teammates. I'll only charge you the cost price, one thousand gold coins."

As soon as Raul heard there was business to be done, his expression changed immediately. A smile spread across his face, and he slapped his belt, pulling out a golden tube filled with five milliliters of liquid and generously offered it to Ripple.

"Whoa! A thousand gold coins! Why don't you just go rob someone"

Layi gasped and immediately said.

"You don't understand, your master does!"

Raul wasn't angry at all. After all, his esteemed guest was Young Master Lian, not some attendant of his.

Her lips curled into a slight smile. She actually thought Raul's price wasn't expensive at all. In the cultivation world, herbs that could be used for bone-washing and marrow-refining after cultivation were rare, usually traded with medium-grade spirit stones. Gold coins were less valuable to her than low-grade spirit stones, so she readily threw a pouch of money at Raul.

I want two.

Raul's mouth was stretched so wide it almost reached his ears. He couldn't believe he had finally found a discerning customer. As he tucked the money pouch into his belt, he also produced a vial of potion and offered it to Young Master Lian.

"Young Master Lian, this elixir can only be taken once in a lifetime. If you take a second dose, it will be largely ineffective. You absolutely cannot take two doses at the same time, as your body wouldn't be able to handle it, the desired effect wouldn't be achieved, and it could even cause damage. This is the optimal dosage I determined through experimentation on Master Rice."

Raul took the gold coins, of course, he had to make it clear that if something went wrong, he wouldn't just be in hot water, he could very well be kicked out of the Moss family.

"I know! I have no doubt about the effectiveness of your potions. Both Layla and I use them, and this is a perfect opportunity to enhance our bodies while we wait for Gray."

After Ripples put her own pipe away, she threw the other one to Ralei.

Lu Ye hurriedly caught it, this was a potion worth a thousand gold coins, equivalent to his annual income.

"Young Master, I won't need to do that!"

La Ye is a little reluctant.

"Good boy! You're my magician, you swore to protect me, how could you be weaker than me!"

Ripple walked out of Raoul's room, talking and pulling Lyi along with her.

For the next three days, La Ye experienced a feeling of being worse than dead. His body went through a cycle of shattering and reconstruction until the medicine was completely depleted. The water bucket he soaked in almost turned into mud, with a stench that was unbearable. La Ye felt as if he had fallen into a cesspit.

After washing three times, La Ye finally felt less smelly. When he looked in the mirror again, he discovered that he had actually grown taller, reaching two meters. Moreover, when using magic, he felt a greater connection with the elements and could mobilize elemental power more easily. Even spells that used to feel sluggish were now flowing smoothly, as if he was on the verge of breaking through to the level of a high-level mage.

La Ye was overjoyed and immediately went to find Lian Shao Ye. He wanted to tell the young master the good news and save up gold coins to repay the gold coins that the young master had spent on him.

The ripples also underwent a process of tempering and refining, and he used his powerful divine sense to help the original body clear out all the meridians in its body and expand them, raising the strength of the body to a higher level. It effortlessly broke through to the silver knight level.

When the two appeared before Leia and Raul again, both felt a difference in them, with Raul being the happiest.

"Haha! I told you I'm a genius. Look at the effect of this potion, Rice is getting old, he should have taken it when he was younger for better results!"

Leia was also moved. She blinked and asked Raul, who was laughing with his arms akimbo:

"Do you have more of this medicine I'd like to buy some too."

“I’m so sorry, Miss Leia! Because it was a trial run, I only managed to make three batches. One was sold to Lord Rice, and the rest were bought by Young Master Lian. If you want to buy some, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until I remake them. It takes time to prepare them.”

Raul would never turn down business that came knocking.

"No problem, I'll order two servings then."

Leia was quick to seize the opportunity, so she immediately paid Raoul five hundred gold coins as a deposit. Raoul readily accepted it and then went back to his room to tinker with his vials and gadgets.

Ripples thought even more deeply. She clearly remembered that a sword of doom still hung over the magical continent, and those invaders from other realms needed to deal with these people. A strong physique was essential, and Raul's potion was very useful for this purpose. As Raul said, using it before reaching adulthood would be more effective.

Two days later, Gray returned to Angel Town. Upon seeing Lyra, he immediately told her about the situation within his family:

"Miss, the high-ranking mages of the family have acted. They extracted the same thing from the bodies of those who made contracts with Phantasmal Beasts this year. It's a gray, unknown substance."

"Is this something that all the clan members who have made a pact this year possess"

Leia frowned and asked.

"No, this strange power was found in the bodies of people who had contracts with beasts below tier three. Above tier three, only a few have it, and there are no cases for flying type beast contract partners."

Gray answered truthfully.

"Can this situation be controlled at present"

The family's Archmage draws power from the nuclei of beasts below tier three. Those above tier three are a bit more troublesome, and the clan's mages are still figuring that out.

That's great!

"The head of the family said that regarding the issue you and Young Master Lian discovered this time, he would inform all the second-rate families so that everyone could be prepared in advance. Of course, the credit goes to Miss and Young Master Lian."

It doesn't matter, as long as I can help the family.

Leia beamed, feeling like she'd been bathed in Lian's light this time.

The lotus on the other side did not receive any messages from her family, unaware that her father had also made the same decision. And with all four great families already taking action, the entire magical continent stifled this crisis in its cradle.

And the ripples had already left Anglet, marching toward the westernmost Soul's Hill.t Don't scare me! I've already notified the family members in Eastern Continent, they will arrive soon."Lu Ya anxiously asked."It's fine, just looks terrible. It didn't hit anything vital."The ripples...
